Are you the shoe store with the coffee shop next to it?

Ate breakfast at a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop this morning.  Just realized I left something there.  Wanted to find out if they actually have it before I head across town to retrieve it, but had no idea what it’s called.  What would you do?

I looked up the street on Google maps street view, found a story nearby with lettering I could make out (“Shoe shine shoe repair”), looked that up, called them, and asked for the number of “that coffee shop” next to them.  Bingo.

If there were a way to give the shoe shine guy a tip via phone I would have done it.

Hi, I'm Robbie Mitchell.
I live in NYC, work at Knewton, and co-founded a sweet educational rap company.

I obsess about data analysis and minor progressions.
